ABA Term of the Week: Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement, an ABA strategy, promotes the occurrence of desired behaviors by providing a positive consequence after the behavior occurs. For instance, when a learner uses their words to ask for help, the clinician implements positive reinforcement, such as saying “good job” and providing assistance. This is an example of social positive reinforcement and natural reinforcement. At Windward Synergy, positive reinforcement is at the forefront of our minds and implemented daily within our interactions with our learners to promote independence, confidence, and generalization of their skills.

ABA Term of the Week: Task Analysis

Task Analysis is a teaching strategy that breaks down a task into smaller steps. For example, if a learner is having a hard time washing their hands, we can utilize task analysis to break down the steps and offer help when needed. There are different ways to implement the assistance with the steps, such as prompting at the beginning and having the child independently finish the rest of the task, often called forward-chaining. We can also prompt the steps during the final steps of the task, called backward-chaining. Task analysis helps develop independence and offers support when tasks may feel overwhelming.

ABA Term of the Week: Natural Environment Teaching (NET) ✨

At Windward Synergy, we utilize natural environment teaching (NET) for the majority of our sessions. This approach facilitates the acquisition of skills in a natural setting. NET looks like the learner and the clinician engaging in play with the motivation of the learner’s choosing. Within this play together, the clinician can teach different skills such as identifying shapes or colors, or encouraging problem-solving skills, like building a tower after it’s knocked over. NET also teaches social skills where a learner can invite a peer to play a game and practice communication skills if they do not want to join in an activity. Our goal with using NET is to help our learners achieve generalization with their skills so that they may effectively use them at home, at school, and in their community.

ABA Term of the Week: Coping Strategies ✨

Coping strategies are implemented daily within our center with the goal of our learners gaining independence in emotional self-regulation. We help them identify their emotions and provide options for the learner to de-escalate. We model with the learner to take deep breaths, drink water, or take a break. Coping strategies are a useful tool for our learners to feel safe, grow their independence, and enhance their learning experience.

ABA Term of the Week: Modeling ✨

Modeling is an effective teaching method that teaches different skills to a learner. Modeling is the act of a clinician showing the learner how to complete a task by performing the steps and narrating the steps. The goal is for the learner to imitate the clinician until they are able to independently complete the task. This strategy requires various forms of prompting based on the individual learner. Our center utilizes modeling each day with our learners to assist in them gaining independence in their social skills, daily routines, their communication, and managing their emotions.

At WSC, we are committed to providing quality services and with that is the learner actively participating in the treatment. Every voice is valued at our center and children are encouraged to use theirs freely. While in sessions with our learners, we make sure the kids are happy, relaxed, and engaged. If a child is not, we work towards gaining assent with patience and empathy.

ABA Term of the Week: Generalization 🌟

Our end goal for our learners at Windward Synergy is for them to become self-sufficient and no longer require our services. This concept is known as generalization. Generalization refers to the ability of learners to apply their acquired skills in various settings, situations, materials, and with different individuals.

Our primary goal is to empower our learners to apply the knowledge they gain in our center to their homes, schools, and communities. We actively encourage them to achieve independence in their treatment objectives.
